Give the Law a Chance.

1t ought to occur to every man who
thinks for himself that the time to pass
judgment upon the merits or demerits of
the Inter State Commerce law is after it
has gone into operation, when experience
will furnish ground for opinion. There
is none DOW. consequently railway men
themselves differ in their view Of The
results. The unfavOTable discussion of
the measure does not enlighten anybody
and 1t is causing fear in a good many.
The assertion that the changes made
in the schedules in anticipation Of the
law will destroy some branches of traffic,
goes upon the assumption that railway
managers are deliberately planning the
ruin of their business. Nothing could
be more absurd. for the reductions in
rates since the flush times, to save th 2
business, which have often been referred
to as among the wonders of the last two
decades, show that however greedy and
grasping corporations may be, they
never do such foolish thing as TO kill
the goose that lays the golden egg for
them.
There undoubtedly will be difficulties
and vexations at the outset, but 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that the men
chiefly interested in the vast mercantile
and carrying trade of this country will
make a wreck of it in attempting 10
readjust it to the requirements of the
new law.
Let the law go into effect and the
judgment be upon defects which expert
ence may prove to exist, and not raise
unnecessary fears by pointing out mis-
chiefs which exist only in theory

MASTER WORKMAN POwDERLY has
called a convention of the Knights of
Labor to meet in Harrisburg on the 7th
inst, to consider and decide upon the
comparative merits of the several bills
sent him for his endorsement on the
labor question. This move on the part
of Mr.. PUwderly will meet with the ap-
prOval of every well-meaning member
of the order. In his call he simply sug-
gests that the Convention take measures
for pressing The claims of the most i'm
portant bills, such as refer to the store
order system, or mining and the mine
ventilation laws of the State, bnt adds
that the members of the convention can
decide in their wisdom what is best to
do. This plan will bring together rep
reseD tatives from all parts of the State
aud the labor interests at large can thus
be consulted and legislation that might
prove beneficial to one locality but be
detrimental to another can be avoided.
That which will advance the general
welfare of tbs laboring classes is what is
needed, and Mr.. Powderly has again
shown his characteristic good judgment
by giving the different members of the
order this opportunity to represent the
industrial interests of their respective
localities.

Banished BugabOOs.

Four bugaboos that have Gone duty in
frightening voters in the last three
Presidential campaigns will have no ef-
feet in the elections Of next year. The
resistless logic of events has retired them
to the limbo of spooks that have been
found out" and have therefore no
scare left in them.
These banished bugaboos were all of
Republican manufacture and manipula-
tion. The first was intended to deter
citizens from voting for change in the
direction Of the Government. by exciting
fears that the negroes of the South would
be re-enslaved, or at least oppressed, if
the party so long in power were obliged
to give an account of its stewsrGship.-
The second-a twin spook-fTightened
timid voters with an alarm of ''rebel
supremacy" The third, which operated
20 defeat Gen. Hancock, was the old
familiar tariff scaTe.' so long relied on
by the Republican managers for emeT-
gencIes. And the fourth, sort of
combination bugaboo, made up Of parts
of the others, did duty in the last cam
paign in attempting to deter voters from
going against Mr.. Blaine on the ground
that the Democrats cannot be trusted
that business ruin and general chaos

tory.
All the assumptions upon which these
scaTecr0ws were constructed are now
what Hosea Bigelow calls exploded
ideas.n Even John Sherman finds toe
negroes safe, aud the South prosperous
and patriotic. The people Of New
York. the greatest manufacturing as
well as commercial city in the country,
last fall supported three "FIee-Traders'
for Mayor and while both parties agree
that the war tariff must be reduced, one
of them will not and the other apparent
cannot reduce it. AS for the fourth
scare, two years of Democratic rule have
dissipated that. The country is seen of
all men to be more prosperous than it
was before, and quite as peaceful and
happy. II no other good result had fol-
lowed the change, it has shown that it
doesn't make much difference which
party is in power" and demonstrated
again that government of the people
is safe in the hands OF any majority of
the people.
But with the disappearance Of these
bugaboos, what shall be the issue of the
campaign ? That is still an open ques-
tion.-N. Y. World.

Figures of the Appropriations.

The advantage of having few honest
careful men on the committee on appro-
priations of the House, and an honest
Executive besides, is made very apparent
by little study of the history of the
regular appropriation bills during the
session of Congress just closed. The
depart ments in furnishing estimates al
ways ask for money enough to provide
for all possible contingencies, with a
liberal margin to spare. Unless members
of the appropriations committee in one
house or the other are thoroughly con-
versant with the actual aeeds of the
various departments. appropriations
are likely TO be of the most liberal
character.
The estimates for 1888 for the expend.
itures of the government outside of the
interest on the public debt and payments
into the sinking fund reached the sun
of S276, 976, ,S72. The House committee
pruned this aggregate e down to S245, $50, ;.
759. The House advanced the amount
about s., 500, 600, still leaving it a round
S25, 900, 600 below the estimates. AS
soon as the bills were messaged to the
Senate and referred to the appropriate
committees, however, the process of in
flatiOn was adopted. The bills as repor.

not enough, The Senate bettered its com.

five millions more, the bills. as they
finally came from the Senate, calling fol
nearly ten millions more than the de-
partments had asked for, and thirty five
millions more than the House had
allowed.
Two of the bills failed entirely, the
river and harbOr bill calling for some
thing over nine millions Lot being signed
by the President, and the general def.
cheney bill calling for four and a quarter
millions not reaching him until after
adjournment. The loss of these two
bills, with the reductions insisted on in
conference committee, reduced the total
amount called for by the appropriation
bills which became laws to S243, SOS, $50,
or about the amount reported from the
House committees,

SHERMAN is on his Southern tour and
Blaine has gone on a Western trip, Alli-
son will probably go east, while Ingalls,,
Edmunds, Cameron and whole host of
other possible dark horses have not yet
been heard from. At the present rate
the next Republican National convention
will have an abundance of candidates to
choose from. That the Presidential bee
is bumming loudly and necessarily in
SheTman's bonnet, can no longer be
doubted. His speeches in the South
contrast strangely with his usual cam
paign speeches in the North but it is a
forloTn hope for the aspiring Senator to
think he can palaver and win over with
his honeyed words the people he has so
often designated with harsh and bitter
terms. His attempt to place all the sins
OF omission of the Forty ninth Congress
at the door of the Democratic party is
both weak and dishonest. His recent
talk on the Labor question is the same
ridiculous rehash Of unfounded state
ments INDUCED in by Republican leaders
for the last fifteen years, namely join
and vote with thu Republican party and
all will be well. So infatuated has he
become with the desire to reach the
White House that he is ready to promise
anything or claim boon -companionship
with anybody for the sake of popular
boom. The soldiers In gray who a short
time ago were iends incarnate, have at
once been transformed into the rarest
specimens of honesty and patriotism. -
The laboring class, who never before
were worthy Of notice by his great mind,
are now the special objects of his com
miseration and,cause him many sleepless
nights-for fear he'll not get theiI votes.
Blaine seems to be on a still hunt and
maintains perfect reticence on political
matters. II the subject is mentioned he
falls back on that ever. fertile topic of
conversation, the weather. He keeps
his eye on Sherman. however, and is no
doubt laying wires to trip up the Ohio
Senator in the course of another year
Well, The buster they are kept watching
each other and breaking up their party
into factions, the easier 1t will be for a
united Democracy to overthrow them in

one reason why none but the rich, ex-
cept il rare instances, can successfully
compete for official honoIs. 1t drives

weapon of warfare. Reform is badly

EVERY week Ireland sees the Tory
power of England waning, and while it
is yet sufficiently strong to Cypress and
worry the inhabitants of Irish soil, the
day is lot far distant when that power
will be broken and harmless. Home
rule advocates are rapidly increasing and
with the influence and sympathy coming
in from all directions to the Emerald
Isle, the inference is that sooner or later
Ireland's scepter will be wrested from
the English throne, and be transpIanted
with it's native shamrock. The Tory
Government recognizes this tendency
against its usurped power, and attempts
to force coercion and have a Grimes
BIll' passed for Ireland, with the hope
of checking the power that will some
day rise III its might and free itself
from the tyranny of its unnatural and
cruel guardian. II is admitted that
Ireland is just TOW unusually free from
crime hence the uncalled-for measure,
except as a pretext for more coercive
legislation. The outcome Of this bill
now pending in Parliament, will be
watched with interest on this side the
Atlantic. The Government has all the
votes necessary to effect its passage, but
the moral effect of a vigorous ard deter
mined opposition waged by union Of
Irish with some of the best of English
statesmen, will be disastrous finally to
the policy of the Tories. Whatever the
be IreIand's triumph.

southern Lands for Northern Settlers.

Instances of people who are land poor
are not uncommon even in the more
densely populated States of the North,
but IN the South, where the population
is largely rural. and great estates have
survived in families from slavery times,
this economic evil is one that operates
as great drawback to the progress and
prosperity of all the States. Every
body here is land poor says leading
paper of Mississippi. The State has an
area of more than 80, 900, 600 acres. OF
these only a fe| more than 5000, QUO
we're in cultivation in 1880, and more
than 10, 600 600 acres we're "unimprOved
farm land. Just half the area of the
State, in other words was classified as
farm land, - and just one-thiTd of This
was then in cultivation. This we pre-
snme is true to greater or less extent
in all the Southern States. The average
size Of farms in four Northern States is
SO acres in Pennsylvania, 80 in Ohio and
New York, and 105 in Indiana. In
Tennessee it is 125, Alabama, i39, in
Georgia. 1SS, and in Mississippi, l56.-
But there has been a marked decrease
in the size of farms in these and other
Southern States stree the civil war.-
Thus, in 1860 it was 270 acres to the
farm in Mississippi, 430 in Georgia, 346
in Alabama, and 251 in Tennessee. In
Texas the average has fallen from 591
acres in 1860 20 20S in 1880. This marks
the subdivision of the large plantations
among small farmers in all the Southern
States.
But the progress made does not satisfy
the more go-ahead of the Southern peo-
pie. TIE State Ledger, a Democratic
weekly paper published at Jackson, the
capital of MississipDj DroDOsPd some
time ago, that the men 70 every county
in that State who own each 500 acres OF
more of land should hold public meet
ing, aDd that every land owner should
give blank deed to the State agent of
immigration for 80 or more acres, TO be
made out and presented to any man with
a family who will go and settle on it,
The settler shall become an absolute
owner after a certain period Of settle
ment. He may even sell or give the land
to any other man with a family who will
settle on it but if some family do rot
settle on it within given period, and
after that do not occupy it for given
period, it shall revert to the donor. This
proposition has been discussed and ap-
proved by several of the leading papers
in Mississippi, the Vicksburg Herald in
particular, and is likely to be adopted.
If successful in Mississippi, it is easy to
see it will be adopted by other Southern
States. As fertile lands as there are in
the Union can now be had in the cotton
States at a merely nominal price, and as
the best of the Western lands are taken
up, great movement will set in one of
these days toward the South. There
has been a quiet drift in that direction,
increasing year by year, since the war
began.

Imprisoned for Integrity.

DUBLIN, Mar. 29.-After Rev. Father
Ryan had to day refused in court to
tell what he knew about the "trusteeing
of rents" in his parish, he was con-
dsmned to prison, though the multitude
on the streets cheered him for his LOYALTY
to parishioners. Father SIattery was
also summoned by Judge Boyd to give
similar information to that demanded of
Father Ryan. He likewise refused, and
was also ordered to prison. Both priests
were removed to Jail in a cab, The
people hooted and jeered the police in
attendance on the cab, and for awhile
refused to allow it to proceed. A dis
turbance ensued, aud the police, who
were mounted, rode with drawn swords
upon the crowd and cleared a lane for
the cab. Mr.. O'BIien, editor of United
ireland, also followed the prisoners to
the Jail. He, with the Lord Mayor and
Archbishop Croke, rode in the Lord
Mayors carriage. The mob threatened
the police along the whole route, and at
times the scene was most exciting.

CONTESTS of all kinds for superiority
whether it be for speed, strength. endu-
rance, intellectual acumen, or feats of
daring always have had and always will
have peculiar interest for the curious
people inhabiting this mundane sphere
The late contest between the two Amer
ican yachts, the Coronet and Dauntless,
which closed on Sunday with victory
for the former, has been watched with
considerable interest. One Of the inter-
esting features of the race is due to the
fact that they left the New York harbor
on the 18th of MaTch--the stormy, blus.
try month of the year, VIXEN there could
be no probability OF avoiding dangerous
gales-and set sail for Queenstown,
Ireland. the Coronet making the tour
across the Atlantic in IA days and 10
hours, the Dauntless coming in shortly
afterwards. The whole distance sailed
by the Coronet is ?. .934 miles. In view
o. the weather, the record is considered
a remal kably good one for a sailing
vessel, and now it is in order for England
or any other naughty county to have
the wind knocked out of her sails by
challenging the Coronet to a contest.
